Unicode in ABAP-Mapping (u00E9 becomes u00C3u00A9)

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I implemented this guide to create a flatfile from an IDoc. It works fine, but some characters are not mapped correctly: an "é" for example becomes "é" and an "ú" becomes "ú". Is this a Unicode problem or something? If yes, how can I use Unicode in ABAP mapping?

As the XML-IDoc is transfered correctly to XI the problem is not in communication channels... it's in the ABAP mapping.

Best regards,

David

hi,

but do you see this issue in abap mapping (while debugging)

or only after the file adapter processes the file ?

(in file adapter you can change the enconding)

Hi David,

As michal said the problem needs to be isolated whether it is at the mapping level or at the file adapter level.

In case it the file adapter then you can mention the encoding standard and if its at the abap mapping the your objects should be unicode enabled.

Hello both,

thank you. The problem was that the message was not displayed in unicode... I opened it using firefox and switched to unicod and everything was ok.

Best regards,

David
